I’m not great with metrics but I think it’s fair to say that I wrote more this year than I’ve ever written in my life put together, except maybe the year I did NaNoWriMo. I wrote at least once a week for Parent Co., which was my main gig, plus I wrote regularly for a couple […]

Guys, I made ten thousand dollars as a freelance writer, running coach, and (primarily) stay at home mom with limited childcare this year… and I’m going to tell you how. I’m not saying my magic formula is going to work for you. I’m just saying it worked for me. Are you ready? I worked really […]

I’m in the middle of my 46th book of 2017 as I write this. It was hard to narrow down my top seven pics for the year,maybe harder even than choosing an ice cream flavor at Sweet Cow, but I’ve never been one to back down from a challenge (with a few exceptions including but […]

Writing You might have seen my essay on Bell’s Palsy on Longreads. If you sat and read all 4k+ words of it, thank you. I know it’s hard to sit at a screen and read anything longer than a tweet or twenty million (or maybe I’m the only one with a Twitter problem?). If you didn’t […]

Write the most honest thing you know how to write about something shitty that happened to you, even if (especially if) that shitty thing wasn’t actually earth-shatteringly tragic. Vomit up all the words and then revise them so many times you don’t know if anything you wrote makes sense or is even remotely good but […]

Sweating I haven’t been running much. While I was training for the Horsetooth Half, I formulated a plan: I’d finish the half marathon un-injured, take it easy for a bit, run a Mother’s Day 5k, run the Bolder Boulder, and then jump back in and train for a fall marathon. But as the days turned […]

Race morning, Sweet Pea is in my room at 5:45 am. “Can we snuggle? Open your Mother’s Day present!” She’s standing an inch from my face. I mentally berate myself for convincing her to wait until Mother’s Day to give me the present she was dying to give me the day before. My alarm is […]

When I put the Horsetooth Half Marathon on my calendar, my good friend and running buddy told me not to expect a PR. She’d done the race before and knew the punishing course. Being overconfident and really bad with things like maps and elevation profiles, I dismissed her doubts. After all, I was in a […]

Happy Passover! The holiday inspired me to write The Four Questions: A Middle Aged Mom’s Retrospective for Mazel Together. (Click over there if you’ve ever sat at the kids table, waiting for Elijah. I know you’ll feel me). I struggled with whether to use the term “middle aged” and decided nothing else would do. I am on a […]

I was catching up with an old friend over the phone recently. “You have everything together,” she remarked. I nearly choked. “What!?” According to Facebook and my blog, apparently I look like I know what I’m doing. The truth is, I’m making everything up as I go along. One of the greatest shocks of my […]

Welcome! I'm Pam Moore and I am so glad you stopped by my blog! I live in Boulder, Colorado with my husband, two little girls, and backyard chickens.

Whatevs... started as a single girl's triathlon blog in 2007, and though it has evolved to include topics like marriage and parenting over the years, it remains my little corner of the internet, where I write about anything that inspires me. My writing has been published on websites including Huffington Post, Scary Mommy, Mamalode, and In The Powder Room. My flash fiction stories have been twice short listed by the Mash Stories competition. I've also contributed to Colorado Runner Magazine and the HerStories anthology.
